A Journey through birth grief & loss

What to Expect

❋ Intentional Structure

Shannon expertly leads through a blend of guided moments, teaching, and personal story reflection. This course, when entered into fully, feels both focused and fluid while equipping you with tools for every area of life.

❋ Learn to Grieve

Grief is a part in any wounding, pain, trauma, and loss. In Healing Birth, we explore grief deeply, helping connect you to steps that guide you through grief instead of getting stuck in sadness.

❋ Expert Facilitation

Led and written by Shannon Dennis, we will hold space, encourage participation, and keep things moving with purpose. You will leave this course feeling confident you can hold your story with compassion.

❋ A Supportive Space

We prioritize comfort, safety, and compassion—so you can show up as you are and fully engage in the process. There is no sideways pain, just supportive, comforting space.

Healing Birth Course

Course Contents


Session One

Shannon teaches on the science of trauma and the why’s and how’s of its impact on our brain. We explore what every human needs to travel the healing path of grief and pain. To close out this session, we introduce you to compassion and it’s part in your journey ahead.


Session Two

In this session, Shannon helps you explore the areas that trauma and pain have stolen your voice and the feeling of access to powerful living. We explore the differences in triggers and flashbacks and how to get through both when our brain opts to use them. This session closes with an exploration of radical acceptance, not bypassing or ruminating.


Session Three

For the final Healing Birth session, Shannon helps you learn how to create healing that holds. Not just stays with you, but that you can grow with. We go through two somatic exercises that help release traumas while growing your window of tolerance. Wrapping up the course we talk about safety for our stories and how to hold other’s stories safely, too.
